Pies usually play well in the West.

Pies 2 wins in Perth in recent years was against freo. Easier to outscore Ross Lyon.

 

[VeinGlorious]

Eagles by 400 points.

Some stats to study in five minutes before the first bounce.

* Since Round 12, the Eagles have retained possession from 48 per cent of their kicks inside 50, ranked third.

* Collingwood has gained 24 metres per kick this season, the second-lowest rate of any side.

* The Eagles scored 75 points directly from their clearances against the Dockers last round, their best result recorded since Round 8, 2014.

* The Magpies have recorded a tackle efficiency of 60 per cent in their forward half this season, ranked 17th.
